But wisdom is proved right by all her children

Luke 7:24-50

After John’s messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see?

This is the one about whom it is written: ‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.’  I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”

For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’  But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”

All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard Jesus’ words, acknowledged that God’s way was right, because they had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and the experts in the law rejected God’s purpose for themselves, because they had not been baptized by John.

Jesus was anointed by a sinful woman with her tears, Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”  Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Why?

What do we go out to church to see every Sunday? Most of us go out to watch interested men or scenes.

Who is greater than others in the church? All of us are sinners, there is no one greater in our church, but for the sins of man, we like to sit on the high sear.

Criticism exists among proud people. Because of arrogance, the criticized word never ends in this world.

All of us are sinners, like this widow. But the key is she knew she had sins, and she knew Jesus had the right to erase her sins.

How?

Let us learn from this woman, come to Jesus, and trust in Him to save us from our sins.
